The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African: Written By Himself — Page 7
The first division contains the married men, who in their dances frequently exhibit feats of arms, and the representation of a battle.
첫 번째 구역에는 기혼 남성들이 속해 있으며, 이들은 춤을 추는 동안 무예를 자주 선보이고 전투 장면을 연출합니다.
To these succeed the married women, who dance in the second division.
그 다음으로는 두 번째 구역에서 춤을 추는 기혼 여성들이 이어집니다.
The young men occupy the third; and the maidens the fourth.
젊은 남성들은 세 번째 구역을 차지하고, 처녀들은 네 번째 구역을 차지합니다.
Each represents some interesting scene of real life, such as a great achievement, domestic employment, a pathetic story, or some rural sport; and as the subject is generally founded on some recent event, it is therefore ever new.
각 구역은 위대한 업적, 가정에서의 일상, 애절한 이야기, 혹은 농촌의 놀이와 같은 실생활의 흥미로운 장면을 표현하며, 그 주제가 대체로 최근 사건에 바탕을 두고 있어 항상 새롭습니다.
This gives our dances a spirit and variety which I have scarcely seen elsewhere[B].
이것이 우리의 춤에 생동감과 다양성을 부여하는데, 이는 내가 다른 곳에서는 좀처럼 보지 못한 것입니다.
We have many musical instruments, particularly drums of different kinds, a piece of music which resembles a guitar, and another much like a stickado.
우리에게는 다양한 악기가 있는데, 특히 여러 종류의 북, 기타와 비슷한 악기, 그리고 스티카도와 매우 흡사한 악기가 있습니다.
These last are chiefly used by betrothed virgins, who play on them on all grand festivals.
이 마지막 악기들은 주로 약혼한 처녀들이 사용하며, 이들은 모든 큰 축제에서 이 악기들을 연주합니다.
As our manners are simple, our luxuries are few.
우리의 생활 방식이 소박한 만큼, 사치품도 거의 없습니다.
The dress of both sexes is nearly the same.
남녀 모두의 복장은 거의 동일합니다.
It generally consists of a long piece of callico, or muslin, wrapped loosely round the body, somewhat in the form of a highland plaid.
그것은 일반적으로 긴 옥양목이나 모슬린 천으로 이루어져 있으며, 몸에 느슨하게 감겨 있어 하이랜드 플레이드와 다소 비슷한 형태를 띱니다.
This is usually dyed blue, which is our favourite colour.
이것은 보통 파란색으로 물들이는데, 파란색은 우리가 가장 좋아하는 색입니다.
It is extracted from a berry, and is brighter and richer than any I have seen in Europe.
이 색은 열매에서 추출하며, 내가 유럽에서 본 어떤 것보다도 더 밝고 풍부합니다.
Besides this, our women of distinction wear golden ornaments; which they dispose with some profusion on their arms and legs.
이 외에도, 우리의 상류층 여성들은 황금 장신구를 착용하며, 이를 팔과 다리에 풍성하게 장식합니다.
